All very interesting. The conjunction of this case with Wikileaks in the last week got me thinking about the nature of truth in cyberspace. AutoAdmit and Wikileaks offer that anonymous communities offer a “frank truth” which is superior to any statements filtered through conventional, accountable speech.

Ciolli here is appealing to a higher truth– sworn truth, through a court filing. So I found it interesting that cyberspace still hasn’t developed a system for enabling sworn truth. I call this the Notary Internet.
